Re: [CMake] Using gcc as an alternative compiler on windows
You need to have a valid/correct installation of MinGW or MSYS+MinGW or Cygwin. After you get one of those installed and working correctly then it is a matter of telling CMake you want to generate makefiles for one of those systems. So, if you want to use MinGW with the new GCC 4.4 compiler, then get that installed. Open up a MinGW command prompt Navigate to a CLEAN build directory and invoke either cmake or cmake-gui You will want to use the MinGW Makefiles generator. CMake will create the necessary MinGW makefiles for you. Then use MinGW-Make32.exe to build your code. That is a pretty short How to but there are more examples floating around the internet. _ Mike Jackson mike.jack...@bluequartz.net BlueQuartz Softwarewww.bluequartz.net Principal Software Engineer Dayton, Ohio On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 12:35 PM, Chauhan, Vikas vikas.chau...@anritsu.com wrote: Hi, At present I have written my source code for VS2008.

Re: [CMake] Using gcc as an alternative compiler on windows
Navigate to a CLEAN build directory and invoke either cmake or cmake-gui Out of source builds work great here. You keep your source in one tree and your builds in other trees. For me its a choice between 32 and 64 bit builds for different microsoft compilers. I have my source trees inside of x:\CMakeBased\some path\ProjectName Then my binary builds are in: x:\32bit\vc.71\some path\ProjectName x:\32bit\vc.80\some path\ProjectName x:\32bit\vc.90\some path\ProjectName x:\64bit\vc.80\some path\ProjectName x:\64bit\vc.90\some path\ProjectName John ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

To add an additional option I have successfully used QtCreator (which builds using MinGW) on windows with cmake. It supports CMakeLists.txt files directly. I would call it work in progress as far as the CMake support. What's not working ? (it works off the same CodeBlocks files) The building works fine. qtcreator does not seem to handle debug, and release in an easy way and also by default it does an in source build. I know I had other issues but I have not played with this in a few weeks so I do not remember.
